yellow glass of which you speak. White 
net curtains should be hung next the 
glass, these should be used in your hay 
window, the over-draperies to hang at 
either end of the window. 
For your bedroom with the blue 
striped paper I am sending you a blue 
and white striped swiss which I think 
will be particularly effective for curtains 
here. These should be made to extend 
to the sill and be finished at the front and 
around the bottom with a three inch frill, 
each curtain caught back in the middle 
by a band of the material four and one- 
half inches in width. This tied in a 
smart crisp bow, you will find makes a 
very attractive window, particularly if 
across the top of the window you 
use an eight inch valance of the mate¬ 
rial, made rather full with a heading at 
the top. 
You might use plain soft blue silk half 
sash curtains next the glass, if there is 
need for these. 
We would suggest that you use white 
dotted muslin over pale blue sateen for 
your dresser covers; these should be 
trimmed about with frills as you suggest. 
The cover to your bed (if you desire a 
muslin one) should be made of the same 
material suggested for the curtains, this 
should have a deep valance on three 
sides just escaping the floor and be used 
over white. 
We send a pink dotted swiss for your 
pink room, and would recommend that 
this be used for window draperies, dress¬ 
ing table cover and bed cover as sug¬ 
gested for the blue. 
Should you desire it the Department 
of Decoration will take pleasure in mak¬ 
ing any of these purchases for you.

in quite handy in handling late grown 
seedlings. You may also set the frame 
upon the soil and bank up with manure 
or soil quite heavily. Leave the plants 
exposed as late in the fall as possible, 
covering with sash when the thermometer 
goes much below freezing, but keep as 
much air as possible by tilting the sash a 
few inches and holding in place by wood¬ 
en blocks. When good freezing weather 
comes, cover the sash with a thin wooden 
shutter. Shutters made of half inch stuff 
are fairly light to handle and less apt 
to break the glass than heavier ones. 
Economical Heating 
Some heating systems waste heat and 
fuelbecause of their poor construction. 
This compels forcing the apparatus to 
obtain sufficient heat and necessitates 
many repairs. Saving of fuel and freedom 
from repairs is true heating economy. 
‘TIERCE” SYSTEMS 
of Low Pressure 
Steam and Hot Water Heating 
are always under control and are eco¬ 
nomical because they require but little 
fuel and attention, distribute every 
particle of heat evenly throughout the 
house and require no repairs. They 
are constructed from best materials in 
one of the largest heating foundries in 
the world. There are over 300 st)les 
and sizes to meet every requirement 
and nearly 200,000 in use, thousands 
having given perfect satisfaction for 
over thirty years. Sold through local 
dealers everywhere.
